    I sold it pretty quick and went with the M&P shield. It's a pleasure to shoot and carry. And the factory trigger is just fine.

    All the small plastic frame pistols suck to shoot. Its a carry alot shoot a little type of deal compared to say a sig p238 thats actually really comfortable.

    I'd buy a current Taurus G2C or G3 if I was on a tight budget

    They seem well made and they're comfortable in the hand

    I sell a LOT of those too...sub $300 without having to wait on a sale for an M&P and you have a decent beginner pistol

    I just bought a S&W MP9 for $179.99 brand new from a dealer. I would absolutely NOT use this as a carry sidearm. It is a fine enough semi to carry when fishing or hunting or a camp gun. I suspect it will not last too long in my line-up.

    I can tell. I'm definitely not "waking up the gong" with my p365. I'd like to get a full sized pistol some time next year. In the mean time, I'm just trying to shoot as many of my friends' pistols as possible to see what I like.

    Smart man. Give the Sig P220R a chance if you see one at the range or with a friend. It is a pure and intuitive shooter. It is not a double stack though if that is what you want.

    I got to shoot my friend's Sig M17. That was one that stood out to me the most. The rest have been Glocks.

    Exactly what I was just about to suggest. I just got an M17 last week, possibly the most comfortable and easiest to shoot full frame pistol I’ve ever used. I like it a lot. I have a bit of time with an HK VP9 as well, which is another excellent shooting gun for about the same price as an M17. The VP9 has comfier grips, but I prefer the M17.

    Heads up, this is a hell of a deal, it’s either free mags or free ammo.

    Finally making the list that I should’ve started years ago, made it through my long guns and suppressors, now to do handguns and uppers for AR’s.

    Went and held a Glock 17 yesterday and liked it as well. I think it's now just a matter of which of the two to get. They're both the same price, locally.

    No wife, just a nosey mom and sister that will whine as much as a wife.

    I want to add a purchase price, but I don’t want a blank spot on guns that I don’t know and/or gifted guns.
